I agree with this. It takes far less typing and its generally just quicker to get around and accomplish many typical tasks with a GUI or object-based interface. I've got repetative strain injury from typing too much and playing guitar, so anything which saves typing is really necisary for me. Linux is a much better system overall, so to have access to a GUI or object-based interface under Linux is going to be fantastique!! Look for more about Gnome and Gnome accessibility as the summer progresses. You can bet that I'll be one of the first to jump on this bandwaggon!!
